Upcoming Film 'Lobby' Tops Pre-Release Ticket Sales

As spring approaches, the film 'Lobby' is generating buzz as a fun and entertaining movie, having secured the top spot in overall ticket reservations just three days before its release. Directed by Ha Jung-woo, 'Lobby' (produced by Workhouse Company and Film Momentum, distributed by Showbox) tells the story of Chang-wook (played by Ha Jung-woo), a startup CEO who knows nothing but research, as he embarks on his first-ever lobbying golf game to win a 4 trillion won government project.

As of March 30, 2025, at 4:32 PM, 'Lobby' has achieved the highest overall ticket reservation rate according to the integrated ticketing system, just ahead of its release on April 2, 2025. The film is set to compete with 'Victory' to revitalize the sluggish theater scene and Korean cinema. The industry is gearing up for a resurgence with Ha Jung-woo's 'Lobby' and Lee Byung-hun's 'Victory' leading the charge.

Critics have praised 'Lobby' as a 'strange and funny crazy movie,' highlighting its black comedy elements filled with Ha Jung-woo's signature witty dialogue. The film has been described as 'an odd and entertaining movie that inherits the DNA of 'Roller Coaster,' showcasing Ha Jung-woo's comedic prowess and a strong ensemble cast that enhances the overall experience. With its unpredictable plot and delightful humor, 'Lobby' is quickly gaining momentum and word-of-mouth excitement as it prepares to charm audiences this spring.

Don't miss 'Lobby' when it hits theaters nationwide on April 2, 2025.
